TRIM LINE

This is a new one-step solver developed by ETA for estimating trim line. The user-friendly Trimline GUI is illustrated in Figure 7.3.3. The user must define parts highlighted in red for Trimline calculation, while blue part is option. The tool definition and parameter setting are similar to those described in the previous section.

NOTE: The latest Trimline calculation is improved. The entire product part or the flange of part can be defined as SHEET in Trimline evaluation. If the entire product part is defined as sheet, the program will automatically add constraint information. The user does not need to define constraint individually.
